Alexey Dobriyan d919b33daf proc: faster open/read/close with "permanent" files
Now that "struct proc_ops" exist we can start putting there stuff which
could not fly with VFS "struct file_operations"...

Most of fs/proc/inode.c file is dedicated to make open/read/.../close
reliable in the event of disappearing /proc entries which usually happens
if module is getting removed.  Files like /proc/cpuinfo which never
disappear simply do not need such protection.

Save 2 atomic ops, 1 allocation, 1 free per open/read/close sequence for such
"permanent" files.

Enable "permanent" flag for

	/proc/cpuinfo
	/proc/kmsg
	/proc/modules
	/proc/slabinfo
	/proc/stat
	/proc/sysvipc/*
	/proc/swaps

More will come once I figure out foolproof way to prevent out module
authors from marking their stuff "permanent" for performance reasons
when it is not.

This should help with scalability: benchmark is "read /proc/cpuinfo R times
by N threads scattered over the system".

	for (int i = 0; i < R; i++) {

		ssize_t rv = read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
		asm volatile ("" :: "g" (rv));
		close(fd);
	}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	if (argc < 4) {
		std::cerr << "usage: " << argv[0] << ' ' << "N /proc/filename R
";
		return 1;
	}

	N = atoi(argv[1]);
	filename = argv[2];
	R = atoi(argv[3]);

	for (int i = 0; i < NR_CPUS; i++) {
		if (glue(i) == 0)
			break;
	}

	std::vector<std::thread> T;
	T.reserve(N);
	for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
		T.emplace_back(f, i);
	}

	auto t0 = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
	{
		*(volatile int *)&xxx = 1;
		for (auto& t: T) {
			t.join();
		}
	}
	auto t1 = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
	std::chrono::duration<double> dt = t1 - t0;
	std::cout << dt.count() << '
';

	return 0;
}

P.S.:
Explicit randomization marker is added because adding non-function pointer
will silently disable structure layout randomization.
